What I thought was strange behavior for a bird, flying flying back and forth in front of my window, ended up being a disoriented bat. He was looking for a place to roost, I think, first in the back of the house and then in front. He eventually took off to hopefully a more suitable place.

Some backyard views.

Most of us wanted to stick our heads in the sand, uh er snow, until spring :-)

Smokey started the day protesting the snow but ended up going bonkers, rolling in the snow like the puppy she is. Cheers to mad cats!
